Taking a break from my Metroidvania streak to appease my inner five year old, by playing Commander Keen on the Steam Deck! I always thought this would have played well on a GameBoy. I just had to wait a few years. :v
Friday The 13th Open Thread
Wiped after another long day, long week. I need to start planning a getaway soon.

Beating Down The Backlog: Outland
Made more progress in Outland today! It took several tries, but The High Priestess was no match for The High Overlord! It was a tough battle, but eventually it became kinda like a game of Simon to me, only if you fuck up you’ll die.
Bonus: I CAN TELEPORT NOW!!!
Evening Open Thread
Tired, listless, can’t think of much to say. I’m drinking peppermint tea? I had fish n’ chips? The world is still a very fucked up place? Fuck it. I’m taking the night off.

An Early Build Of Left 4 Dead Surfaces
There have been quite a few different leaks lately if you haven’t been paying attention. One in particular being the early building blocks for what would eventually become Left 4 Dead!
I remember reading on the wiki years ago that Left 4 Dead was originally going to be called “Terror-Strike”, and now after watching this it makes more sense.
Still Feeling That Metroidvania Itch
Taking a break from one pummeling and getting through another one. In this case it’s Outland! I made quite a bit of progress! Increased my health, and now I can harness both the power of light and darkness in the name of getting more achievements!!! Bwahahahahahahaha!
Another Dip In The Abyss
Took another crack at Abyss Odyssey, this time as Katrien. I made it juuuuust outside the Warlock’s entrance before getting gang banged by a bunch of demons… oh well. I leveled up, so there’s that I guess?
One of these days, Warlock! one of these days…
Small Bit of Progress in Portal Reloaded
I solved a couple chambers on my Steam Deck during lunch today, and obtained the legendary THREE PORTAL DEVICE! I haven’t gotten around to firing the third Portal yet, still understanding how to traverse time. Wibbly Wobbly etc etc. If you haven’t heard about Portal Reloaded check out the trailer! It’s free if you own Portal 2!
Imagination Overflow
I went through the motions of chopping up a GMod video tonight, and it’s giving me some interesting ideas. I don’t even think I’ll use most of the footage… I’m kinda curious to see how it would pan out if I mostly animated it. It’s just a matter of seeing if I can gather up the necessary assets to pull it off, and given that GMod and SFM both run on Source there is a likely chance. I would have to take a video hiatus, but I think it would be worth it if everything came together.
I’ll allow tomorrow’s slightly more awake brain determine that. I’ve done enough for tonight.
